you can post some of your favorite fire fighter or fire related quotes here, mine is
"I am just another fireman because the story focuses on Joaquin Phoenix's character, but I play Joaquin's close friend and I get burned up a little bit, but I don't die. Morris Chestnut"
if you could supply the author it would be greatly apreciated
EDIT:-10.17.08- non fire fighter quotes are also excepted, EDIT:11/26/08 dont forget to add me
i hear that i was on one of my town's engine companies riding officer to an AFA (we knew it was bs because we've been there at least twice within the past month). We had a crew of 3 (driver, myself and the nozzle man). We got on scene i gave the initial report and assumed command. Another firefighter was already on scene (responded in his work truck), so I immediatly gave him a portable and let him run the scene where my partner and myself investigated this maze of a warehouse. So I stepped up to the plate, took charge of the scene for 5 seconds then took charge of my crew.
"I want a roll call. I don't give a shit about the building. I give a shit about the guys" FDNY command at Deutsche Bank Fire. 8/18/2007 radio transcript.
I doubt that anyone wouldn't want to work for this chief.
Well I also left out the fact that communications told us that PD on scene reported that there were workers on the roof and possibly hit a wire... I have got to stop leaving out details like that.
